☀️ Happy summer solstice from Stonehenge! ☀️ This morning we welcomed around 15,000 people to celebrate the summer solstice sunrise at Stonehenge, with over 200,000 people around the world tuning into our livestream.

Today marks the 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, one of the defining events in modern history. Across the country, a selection of our historic sites will be lighting beacons to honour the contribution and sacrifice of those who served and gave their lives.
